New Street Market inaugural Summer Exhibition – Woodbridge, Suffolk

This summer, New Street Market invites visitors to experience a vibrant new exhibition inspired by the spirit of the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition — bringing works by Antony Gormley, Tracey Emin, Maggi Hambling, Yinka Shonibare and Joe Lycett, among many others, to the Suffolk coast alongside an exciting line-up of local and regional artists.

Running throughout the summer, the exhibition transforms part of New Street Market into a welcoming gallery space where creativity, community and conversation come together. Drawing inspiration from the Royal Academy’s long tradition of exhibiting artists at every stage of their careers, the show celebrates diversity in style, medium and perspective.

Many of the artworks will be available to purchase, offering collectors and first-time buyers the chance to take home original pieces while directly supporting the artists behind them.

Located in the heart of Woodbridge, New Street Market has become a destination for independent makers, food, design and creativity. Visitors can enjoy great coffee, cakes, brunch and lunch from the cafe, and stay into the evening for dinner and cocktails.

Whether a seasoned collector, an occasional gallery-goer or simply looking for inspiration during a summer day out, the New Street Market Summer Exhibition promises something for everyone.
